in the prices of all goods.
Now is the time to buy your
suits, either for Men, Youths
or Children, as we will show
vou prices never before seen
in Americus. Our great sale of
is now in progress, and we
hope to close out the entire
stock by January ist, if low
prices on good goods consti
tute any attraction.
We have had an immense
trade the past week in Over
coats, but in consequence of
new arrivals in this deparment,
we are still prepared to offer
you a stock that cannot be
equaled in variety, and at
prices that you will be sure to
find agreeable to the times.
We have some special at
tractions in
IRkHriaUR
A cool bead, steady hand and strong
nerves, wil And scope for an exhibition
on Saturday afternoon at 1! o’clock.
Hiss Leona is a young miss scarcely
turned her fourteenth year, and yet she
and her little dog “Rlpsey,” will take
an excursion up among the clouds at an
altitude that would make the bravest
heart quail, or the steadiest masculine
band tremble.
The balloon will be inflated at from
2:40 to :i:00 Saturday ovening, requiring
twenty minutes to receive a sufficient
volume of hot air.
Then the ropes will be slipped, and—
away up among the clouds the young
lady will sail with a little dog her only
companion.
“Gipsey” will he cut loose at an alti
tude of 1,500 feet, and will make the
descent in a parachute.
Miss Leona will, however, far eclipse
this, soaring up to an altitude of 4,000
feet before she deserts the “ship of air.”
and entrusts herself to the parachute.
In order to get a clear conception of
the really great height, it is only neces
sary to remember that a mile up in the
air is only 0,280 feet—and just imagines
mile turned bottom upwards.
I’rof. Odell, the aeronaut, lias had
some thrilling chapters in his life's his
tory that read liko pages in yellow-back
literature.
“It is expected by those in our pro
fession, and when we break our legs and
arms, it is a matter of course.”
“What about the paraihute, and its
guidance?”
“Well, the popular impression that the
parachute is merely the toy of tho cur
rents of air is not altogether correct. It
is guidud, in a material measure, by the
poiso of the body, and I can very gener
ally chooso my place for alighting.”
“Over in Birmingham,” continued tho
professor, “1 made an ascension of 0,000
feet, which was pronounced by Prof.
Baldwin, of Quincy, 111., tho world-
famous aeronaut, to he the highest on
record for a balloon inflated with only
hot air. Once while exhibiting in Colum
bus, and at a great height, my balloon
burst and I had just time enough to cut
looso with iny parachute.”
Hundreds and hundreds of people will
bo in Americus Saturday to witness tho
wonderful aerial performance of plucky
little Miss Loona and her dog "Gipsey.”

ly false in color and treatment”—who
docs not know and recognize these
terms and properties as essential to the
modern home? Ever since the centen
nial a craze for such things has raged in
the country, and a whole dictionary of
terms has arisen in which to describe
them. A wide-spread and almost uni
versal dosire and ambition to possess
them lias sprung up, too, which, in its
turn, has created a literature in which
matters of taste arc discussed as if noth
ing more solemn or more vital existed
in this or any other world.
Individuals here and there (sensitive
souls of a pro-ominently delicate and fas
tidious order) havo become so imbued
with the principles and rules laid down
for them that they havo almost died of a
green and yellow melancholy in rooms
where these colors have been Improper
ly combined. Lies havo been driven to
despair by boarding-house curtains and
carpets or hotel cliromos and decoration.
Gentlemen, oven, have been made mis
erable by stone china, and grown mor
bid from enforced association with
horse-hair furniture and wax (lowers.
Ono of them we hear of as always carry
ing a bit of msthetfc cretonne In his
pocket |lnstead of a vinaigrette when
obliged to go to barbarous houses where
the colors “swear at each other,” as the
trench put it. Bachelors have become
the rivals of any lady in the land in
their knowledge and appreciation of the
the delicate taaka hitherto considered
essentially fetnlnino, auch as the draping
of chair-hacks, the setting of tables, the
looping of curtains, the art of arranging
cosey corners and producing “effects.”

You have hoard a great deal about the advance on Carpets in

but my opposition to a protective tariff leads me to do all that I can to
